Understanding 9/11Head and Shoulder Hunting in the Americas: Walter Freeman and the Visual Culture of Lobotomy
Video Item Preview
This is a recorded version of a presentation about Walter Freeman, a neurologist and psychiatrist who lobotomized thousands of Americans. I talk about Freeman's practice of photographing his patients before and after their surgery, and explain what this can tell us about the history of psychiatry.
